AI summary of what 7 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the Cazzomannaggia as the standout dish, praising its bold, rustic flavors. The overall vibe is one of hearty, unpretentious Italian comfort food done right.
“This dessert is made without a recipe and inside has bitter orange, mascarpone and grappa. It's very rich in orange, I can smell this grappa, it's very aromatic. It's very different, a very particular dessert — I have never had the experience of eating a 'cazzomannaggia'. The scent is very good, the grappa makes itself felt. The bitter orange is nice, I like bitter orange a lot. It's cool because it's very particular.”

Dishes mentioned
Polpette di Verdure con Maionese alla Salsa di Soia
These vegetable croquettes are very tasty, with little pieces of vegetables inside that are very good. The mayonnaise with soy sauce is interesting, with a nice little lemon peel that gives it a touch. I like the croquette better in its purity without the mayonnaise because it has all these little flavors mixed together — all the vegetables, lemon peels — and the breading is thin but crunchy.
Spaghetti Quadrati Freschi con Burro, Acciughe e Briciole di Pane
These fresh square spaghetti with butter, anchovies and bread crumbs were fantastic — very good and very tasty. It's a simple dish, butter and anchovy, but when the products are good the dish is different, very enjoyable. The pasta is perfectly al dente, the anchovy butter is delicious, and the bread crumbs give it that toasted note that characterizes the dish. This is my favorite dish, I would never have said it at all. How can butter and anchovies be bad? It's one of the most perfect things in the world.
Gnocchi al Miso
These miso gnocchi have an incredible miso scent. There's a bit of onion — I don't know if it's caramelized or stewed — and some black sesame. The butter is obviously funny because it's a combination of our tradition with this slightly Japanese, slightly Asian taste of miso. It's very cool, very interesting. I feel this acid, the dough is very soft, just right — the gnocco must be like this in my opinion. The flavor is very good, the butter is very good, I don't know where they get it from but I like it a lot. The onion gives a bit of acidity that makes it a very interesting dish.
Curry di Verdure
This vegetable curry smells very good. It has broccoli, black cabbage, peas, carrot. I really like curry, always liked it, and even now I like it very much. The sauce is very good, the vegetables are cooked and soft. It's a good dish — a little spicy just barely, you can taste the coconut milk. The vegetables are cooked, cooked, cooked. It's very pleasant. If one wants a vegetable dish, a vegetarian dish, this is perfect. With these still cold days it's a good thing.
Taglio Rifatto
This is a Florentine tradition — fried chop, then sautéed in tomato with garlic, capers, anchovies and parsley. There's a quintal of anchovies. It's delicious, it almost feels like eating a Napoli pizza. It makes me feel at home, it's very good. When it's good, what should I say? It's good, it's good.
